1. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service What’s New in CHPS-4.0.1 (non FEWS related changes) 11/14/2013

2. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service CHPS-4.0.1 CHPS-4.0.1 is coming – OHD and RFC beta testing is complete Special Thanks to MARFC, MBRFC, LMRFC, WGRFC, SERFC, and CNRFC – “Final” package with HSD for final phase of testing (installation) – CHPS-4.0.1 Package should be made available by HSD very soon – Details in Release Notes For normal CHPS operations, CHPS software is STABLE – Especially For non-FEWS Components Very FEWS FogBugz since last release of CHPS Beta testing had very few issues Changes, if any, are in add-on functionality

3. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service What’s New in CHPS-4.0.1 OHD-CORE-CHPS (3.2.a) – FogBugz cases – Initial Release of Calibration Features – Graphics Generator Updates – Documentation on the web http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/indexdoc.htmhttp://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hrl/general/indexdoc.htm HEC-RAS ( HEC-RAS-4.1.0_1.0.6 ) – FogBugz fix HEC-RESSIM ( HEC-ResSim v3.1RC4 ) – No Changes – CN and MB using, anyone else?

4. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service OHD-CORE-CHPS: FogBugz Cases FogBugz 984: TATUM incorrect if LAYER COEFFICIENTS of form #.00 FogBugz 1045: GraphGen does not add a.xml extension FogBugz 1144: Make Lower Zone Deficit Ratio (LZDEFR) variable available as an output SAC-SMA timeseries

5. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration Initial Goal is to reproduce mcp3 and icp capabilities – Not addressing Calibration preprocessors (MAP, MAT, TAPLOT, PXPP, IDMA) or postprocessor (OPT3) – Includes feedback from calibration team (ABRFC, APRFC, CBRFC, CNRFC, NWRFC) CHPS Calibration – Uses a mix of “OHD-CORE-CHPS” and “FEWS” features CHPS calibrations are done in a Stand Alone (SA) and configurations should NOT be uploaded to the live system (OC) (except for calibrated module parameters file) More Details at upcoming webinar (early December)

6. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration (Affected Calibration Files)

7. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration (Workflows) Uses existing operational workflows (i.e. Preprocessing_Updatestates and the UpdateStates General Adapter modules) Add new calibration modules to workflows for WATERBAL, STATQME, Report STATQME, and PEAKFLOW

8. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration (STAT-QME) Used the FEWS Open API/custom transformation concept to code several calibration Stat-QME calculations which are not easily configurable - Add OHD transformation configuration files. ModuleConfigFiles/calibration/xxxxx /STATQME_WGCM8_Calibration_StatEquations.xml. CoefficientSetFiles/ Area_Coefficients.xml

9. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration (HTML Report) The ICP statistical summary, a text based report in tabular format used to review all statistical information in a single window, is reproduced in CHPS as a FEWS report generated using an HTML template; this is referred to as the HTML report - The Configuration directory holds the files that are required for creating the HTML reports Section 5-9

10. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service The CHPS Percolation Analysis Function is limited compared to the original ICP – The lower zone deficiency ratio (LZDEFR) time series is needed by the Percolation Analysis for Calibration. – The LZDEFR variable will be an additional output time series for the SAC- SMA model in CHPS – The last time interval value of each day is selected to create a time series of daily LZDEFR value to use in the Percolation Analysis OHD-CORE-CHPS: Calibration (Percolation Analysis)

13. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service Products and settings are now stored on the file system – Previously stored in the localDataStore – Dependency on CHPS/FEWS led to bugs FogBugz 1110: Product XML was being truncated when saved as a data set via the FEWS PI-service FogBugz 1048: Uploaded products and settings were not getting synched to the back- end PI-service – Move to file system removes this dependency OHD-CORE-CHPS: Graphics Generator (Software Changes)

15. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service Graphics Generator chart viewing panel has been enhanced – Impacts the GraphGen Editor Panel and GraphGen Viewer Panel – Changes are a byproduct of HEFS software work – Changes primarily impact the data table and its interaction with the chart Data table bugs fixed Mark Panel indicates rows and columns that contain data within the current chart viewed area (i.e., when zoomed, marks indicate visible data) Clicking on cells in the data table highlights point in the chart – Additional changes/fixes have been made for HEFS and will be delivered in a future release OHD-CORE-CHPS: Graphics Generator (Software Changes)

21. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service What’s Next (continued) – Outstanding FogBugz enhancements (possible, needs to be prioritized – Future Release) 1148: output ET demand and actual ET from SAC-SMA 443: SSARRESV limitations HEC-RESSIM (Nothing planned) HEC-RAS (Nothing Immediate) – The only plans for RAS are that when RAS V4.2 gets officially released by HEC (we don't know when), we will have to see (via HSD and Regions) whether it is high enough priority to update the RAS adapter for that new version. That's not automatic - it depends on priority against other CHPS enhancement requests

22. Office of Hydrologic Development Silver Spring, MD National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service What’s Next Other Efforts – HLRDHM through FEWS (prototype project) In response to FogBugz 1010 (OHRFC) - Updated HLRDHM FEWS Adapter to be compatible with latest version of CHPS Detailed Configuration Guide Will be made available as a separate package in early December – To be used on dev/test or SA – Support and maintenance is currently outside of CHPS (Zhengtao Cui) Something to be considered for future versions of baseline CHPS Training – Calibration in CHPS Training (Early December): GO-TO led by Deltares 1.5 – 3 hour webinar (Demos and Presentations) Use FogBugz to enter “requests” (fixe, clarification, enhancement) Possibly followed up several weeks later with a technical conference call – Graphics Generator (by June 2014) Identified as a “High” Priority Teresa Murphy at NWSTC working with OHD and RFC representatives on training modules
